Cartagena. It’s hot. In fact, it’s really stinking hot! And that’s been our excuse for not doing anything the last few days! In fact, we’ve done little more than walk around the town (several times) and get lost (several times). I have now acquired a new pair of flipflops (albeit cheap plastic ones) and we’ve...

I look almost as bad as my travelling companion, Pooh Bear, who's face has been squashed by a bungee cord for the last God knows how many hours! No seat back tv - seriously,... Continue Reading →
